Excerpt from The Sheltered SexRuth Charlton, hastening home at a great pace because she was late for tea - she generally was late for tea - had her ears smartly boxed by the ¿ying corner of her mackintosh, caught in a sudden gust, and swore at it with such sudden and heartfelt vehemence that it was, perhaps, fortunate that the street chanced just then to be so deserted.The Charltons lived in The Crescent. The Crescent stood, decorously, a little back from the main street, but still it was within sight of the sea, as sundry genteel advertisements in the local papers modestly testified. There had always been one or two boarding houses in The Crescent but they were so very select that there was really nothing to complain of. There was a select little school for young ladies, too, kept by the Misses Anderson. All the young ladies of The Crescent had been to the Misses Anderson's - Ruth herself had once been a pupil there, and so had her two elder sisters. It was so extremely convenient, you see, and, above all, so cheap.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
